The prosecutor and defense counsel can agree to a lower charged offense, as a result of what is known as “plea bargaining.” Plea bargaining usually results in a lower-charged offense and/or a lighter sentence in exchange for a guilty or nolo contendere plea by the defendant. However, the judge in the case must approve the plea bargain in order for it to be effective. There are many advantages to a plea bargain. A plea bargain will avoid further court proceedings and avoid a full-blown trial. This saves money and time for both the prosecution and the defense. The court system is overburdened with cases already, so plea bargains are an inviting solution, so long as the judge goes along. written by Darren Kavinoky
A felony is a crime punishable by imprisonment in the state prison, for over one year. The length of punishment is determined by a low, mid, and high term, usually 16 months, 2 years, and 4 years, respectively. A DUI can be a misdemeanor or a felony depending on a number of factors, such as whether injury occurred and/or whether there are prior DUI convictions. DUI convictions and punishments are guided by the California Vehicle Code. << previous page 1 next page>> |
